WILLIAMS HEADS TO WAIVERS

With less than four years in the NFL, former Falcons defensive back Jimmy Williams will now hit the waiver wire.

If he isn’t claimed, he’ll become a free agent.

One team to watch in this regard is the Seattle Seahawks, given that Seahawks assistant (and head coach in waiting) Jim Mora was the head coach of the Falcons when Williams was drafted. Another possibility is the Rams, since new St. Louis Executive V.P. of Player Personnel Billy Devaney was working in the Falcons’ front office when Williams was drafted.

Whether either team is truly interested depends on whether either man wanted Williams. And whether either man decided that Williams isn’t very good based on the time observing him in Atlanta.

Still, for $445,000 in 2008 and no up-front money, it might be worth taking a shot at whipping him into shape. Especially since he’ll earn none of the salary unless he makes the final cut.
